Coward
Love's Timid Dance: Unveiling Vulnerability in 'Coward'
Lyrics
Blindside, you look over
Feeling unexpectedly attacked or surprised; caught off guard.
My life, your controller
Someone else has significant influence or control over my life.
I hide, great pretender
Presenting a false image or persona; not revealing true feelings or thoughts.
Why try, never tell her
Choosing not to make an effort or take risks, especially in expressing feelings to someone.
Anyway you look at it, it's true
Emphasizing the undeniable reality of the situation.
I'm a coward when it comes to you
Acknowledging a lack of courage, especially in dealing with a specific person.
I was hoping you could see it too
Hoping for the other person to perceive and understand one's fear or hesitation.
I'm a coward when it comes to you
Reiterating the admission of being afraid or lacking courage in the presence of the person.
It's the silent way that you call my name
Describing a subtle or unspoken method used by the person to get attention.
When your eyes meet mine I know I probably make a face
Expressing self-consciousness and discomfort through facial expressions.
Do you notice when I notice?
Raising awareness of whether the person notices the speaker's reactions.
I'm no good at keeping my composure
Acknowledging difficulty in maintaining a composed and collected demeanor.
Anyway you look at it, it's true
Repeating the earlier statement about the undeniable truth of the situation.
I'm a coward when it comes to you
Affirming the cowardice specifically in relation to the mentioned person.
I was hoping you could see it too
Expressing a desire for the person to perceive the speaker's fear.
I'm a coward when it comes to you
Reiterating the admission of being a coward when dealing with the person.
Anyway you look at it, it's true
Emphasizing again the inescapable truth of the cowardice.
Such a coward when I'm next to you
Describing an increased level of cowardice specifically in close proximity to the person.
I was hoping you could see it too (you do)
Reiterating the hope for the person to perceive the speaker's fear, with acknowledgment that they do.
I'm a coward when it comes to you
Restating the admission of being a coward when confronting feelings for the person.
(You do)
Acknowledging the person's awareness of the speaker's cowardice.
(When it comes to you)
Emphasizing once again the fear and hesitation specifically in relation to the person.
